" Well what were they playing this on? "
I assume it was played on a PC or on a 360 via a packed game file. Though, what it's played on doesn't really mean much. Braid was originally for PC and was demoed on a PC, but then became an XBLA game. Alan Wake was demoed as a PC game but is now a 360 exclusive. As for releasing it as an XBLA game, they have to get Microsoft on board with that idea; it's not something you can just do. So really, it could end up on any platform at the moment, regardless of what it's currently being demoed on.

@Hamst3r: Wow, thanks! Anyway, I hope it comes out for PC. With USB controller support. And no hellish lag like Trine had.

The audio on this is super quiet. I forgot I turned my volume up to hear Brad and Jeff for this only to watch the Gas Powered Games Video Blog and get my eardrums blasted (headphones).

Looks great! Once again Quick Looks pull a game from obscurity and put it right at the front of my mind, probably taking some money with it.

I don't understand the appeal of doing really brutal attacks when they have such a small effect on the enemy.

Very nice. Like the art style. Hope this winds up on PS3 or Steam; I prefer not having to obtain Microsoft Funbucks. And the 360 D pad sucks.

Looks very good but if that is all the gameplay includes, it could get real old real fast. The combos are what makes a game that that and the combos in that game don't look too amazing.

Is it truly a Quick Look when Brad is present and the character doesn't die at least once?

Looks bloody gorgeous. The lighting effects, the colour palette, the art style and the animation are all top notch. Could this be bringing brawlers back?

Actually yeah that did bother me.  Seeing the character ram a chainsaw down some dude's throat 14 times just to see the guy stand up is frustrating.  Then again the art style is just cool enough to look past that, at least for me. 
 
Do you guys mind mentioning what system you were playing that on?  I mean nothing has been announced yet, but odds are whatever you're playing it on is something it'll be released on.

Probably using PC code with a controller since it was an Independent Games Festival contestant. The actual game itself might be coming out for any platform depending on what system licenses the developer can procure.

Looks amazing. Still, I hope the game will get more complicated and varied, because the art style and animation won't pull it forever.

I don't see what the big deal is. Apart from smooth animations and, as mentioned, the polished art, it could very well be a free flash game. It's cool, but why the buzz?
